Bbc Quiz : Week 45

[Buenchico]

A decent enough FIVE out of seven for me this week in the grown-ups’ quiz:

There are some nice ’n’ easy questions for the kids this week but I still only managed a middling THREE out of five:

I swear that timer bar in the Timed teaser gets faster every week! I managed a ‘passable’, but far from ‘great’, score of FOUR out of ten:

How will YOU do, I wonder?

[Toorak]

That just about sums me up Chris :-)

[JJ109]

Same total as you Chris but I am more of a kid
3, 5 and 4 respectively!

[Buenchico]

>>> but I am more of a kid

Does that mean that I've got to let you play with my marbles then, JJ109? (Oh, hang on though. I think that I might have lost all my marbles a very long time ago!).

[Ken4155]

All the fours; 4/7, 4/5 and 4/10. Consistency rules, ok.

[Buenchico]

You sneaked in there when I wasn't looking Ken!

When you say "All the fours", aren't we all meant to shout out "Droopy drawers" or something?

Well done om matching my aggregate score (not that that ever means very much!) anyway ;-)

[BTW: If you know anything about the Breeders Cup, there's a post awaiting your attention in 'Sport']

Thanks Chris, just back in from a bar.

4/7
5/5
6/10

A lot of lucky guesses, and 10 seconds goes very quickly when trying to read with double vision !

[Toorak]

At least you have an excuse twin : I have none

[Toorak]

^^^ twix !

[Buenchico]

I think that I should be drinking some of what Twix has been drinking. That 6/10 is the second highest score in the timed quiz up to now (with only JimF, with 7, doing better so far)!

Putting that together with a perfect 5/5 (and a perfectly passable 4/7 too) seems to show that Twix clearly functions best when fuelled by alcohol ;-)

[twix123]

That's many years of practice Chris !

[Buenchico]

Well they say that practice makes perfect, don't they?
;-)

[campbellking]

3/7,4/5,5/10. Robbie says hi from the warm comfort of the human’s lap

[Buenchico]

Oh, just the one latecomer this week then? Or perhaps there are still more to come? (All welcome!)

Hi to both you and Robbie, Campbellking, from me and the troublesome trio (especially from Moonbeam though, who's currently washing himself on my lap).

First 3, then 4, then 5 . . . I'm expecting you to start off next week's scoring with a 6!
